“Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.”Jim Rohn As early as I can remember, fitness was just something we did as a family. It was more than a hobby, habit, or obligation, it was part of our lifestyle. That lesson, in and of itself, was a gift. What’s more, I discovered that true fitness is found when you only focus on one thing in the mirror — your smile. I’ve explored a lot of fitness modalities over the years, as a participant, trainer, and editor. Over and over again, I’ve learned that when it comes to fitness, if you don’t love it, you won’t live it. And building a lifestyle around healthy movement is the only way to guarantee you’ll stick with it. I…

Women Fitness President Ms. Namita Nayyar catches up Danielle Palladino an exceptionally talented Fitness and Cross Fit Trainer here she talks about herfitness routine, her diet, skin care, hair care and her success story Danielle Palladino love for fitness began in her garage at the age of twelve where her dad gave her the foundation of weight lifting. Learning these functional movements didn’t just help her become a stronger athlete. They taught her some of the most important skills in life: hard work, confidence, discipline, camaraderie, sportsmanship, the power of the mind and dealing with success and failure. She did benefit from this experience not just in the weight room, on the soccer field, softball field, tennis court, and the track, but in her personal life as well. Her Motto…

Women due to faulty lifestyle tend to end up with back pain. Improving ones posture is unlikely to uproot the cause of back pain, but it may help reduce muscle tension. Correcting your posture may feel awkward at first because your body has become so used to sitting and standing in a particular way. But with a bit of practise, good posture will become second nature and be one step to helping your back in the long term. Slouching in a chair Slouching doesn’t always cause discomfort, but over time this position can place strain on already sensitised muscles and soft tissues. This strain may increase tension in the muscles, which may in turn cause pain. Exercises to strengthen your core and buttock muscles, and back extensions, will help correct…

Breech presentation occurs in 2-4% of pregnant women. Most maternity units tend to deliver babies in breech presentations by C-section. Women are looking for natural solutions to the problem. That is why moxibustion of Bladder-67 is gaining popularity. This method is simple, safe, and can be done at home. When performed correctly, it has been shown to increase the likelihood of babies turning head down. The technique to bring the Kidney and Bladder channels back into balance involves heating the Bladder-67 point with moxa on both feet for 15-20 minutes, once a day for 10 days total. Timing Most studies show that the 34th week of gestation is the optimum time to use moxibustion on Bladder-67. Before this time, the fetus is still very mobile and may change position to…

#1 Sugar Sucks (The New "Keto") If there is to be one health claim that will rule the shelves in 2022, it’s the now-popularized version of “Keto,” called “Sugar Sucks.” The original “True Keto” diet forced followers to push themselves into ketosis by eating mostly fat (70% or more of total diet). Eating such high levels of fat caused them to lose weight fast because it made their bodies switch from burning carbs (glucose) to burning fat (ketones). But as “Keto” has become mainstream, followers are increasingly calling their diets “Keto” as long as they hit just two key “Keto” metrics: rock bottom sugar and low net carbs. “Sugar Sucks” consumers typically want high protein (unlike traditional keto, which limits protein at no more than 20% of the total diet), moderate fat…

Hayley Pummer is an Online Nutrition and Weight Loss Coach with a purpose to help women stop dieting, find balance, and live a healthy lifestyle. You are a believer in the fact that every food (most definitely cake and chocolate included) can fit into a healthy balanced lifestyle. Can you help women understand how this can be made possible? Absolutely, I’m a firm believer that you can enjoy any foods you love as part of a healthy balanced lifestyle, and that this is the best approach for long term success. Often people try to cut out less nutritious foods because they believe that they’re ‘bad’, or stop them from losing weight. It’s important to remember that no foods are ‘good’ or ‘bad’ - some are just more nutritious, some are…
